To: ham-digital@ucsd.edu
Arrggggg, I lost my documentation for my 70cm TEK Data Radio, and have *no*
idea about the pinout for the DB-9 connector used to set power, send and
receive the bits from it. Could a kind soul please email me a transcription
of the pins for me?
Thanks, Ciao -- 73 de VE6MGS/Mark mark@ve6mgs.ampr.ab.ca -sk-

I run RTTY, AMTOR, and PACtor on my Yaesu 990, and have never had any
problems with the power supply or overheating. We've run 48 hour RTTY
contests (the fan runs plenty often during them) and held very long
ragchews on RTTY, which is 100% duty cycle.
On Amtor I've gone an hour or more in a qso, and similar on PACTOR. It
should not matter to the radio whether the PACTOR or AMTOR user is
a keyboarder or a BBS, I would not think. Since the protocol (AMTOR at
least, I haven't looked at PACTOR) is syncronous, it is necessary to
send characters even when the user is not typing. Perhaps you were
referring to the fact that the station pulling 30 or 40 messages from a
BBS would not reverse the connection and thus one end would have to
be sending longer packets than the ack/nak from the receiving end. Even
so, it just depends on the rig's ability. If the rig is rated at 100%
duty cycle, then it should handle it. The 990 is so rated.
One curious question: If one station is sending 30 or 40 messages before
turning the line around, when does the receving station get to ID? It
seems to me that more than 10 minutes may have passed...

I'm looking for software, DOS or Windows, to view GIF format images.
Is there an FTP site which might have this? I would also like to be
able to convert GIF to other formats.
Many thanks for your help.

To: ham-digital@ucsd.edu
HI Everyone:
I have a kantronics KPC-3 TNC and 486 IBM computer and a 2 meter radio.
In our area we dont have full service BBS. I was thinking of setting up
a full service BBS so that people can read messages relatively easily.
I would like to get it started soon. I have access to internet ftp sites,
will anyone familiar with BBS point me out to how to setup BBS and which
software will be of happy with the above mentioned hardwares.
I would appreciate any help in setting up full service BBS.
Thanks a lot.

It's been suggested to me that I alert News Users who may not have ftp
access that the code is available from my own LLBBS. Call 716-544-1863 or
2645 (300-14400). It's in the DSP file area

Well after a little tinkering... I've got it receiving (haven't hooked
up TX yet). Did OK with all modes, RTTY/Amtor/Packet.
The thing I did have to do is to go into the ALLMODE.INI file
and change AICAuxIn line to F
This thing is quite a bargain... I got mine from Arrow Electronics

I've had my DSK for a week and the appearance of this code (I found it on
ucsd before your post) got me excited enough to finally hooked it up at
least for RX. It lite right off as far as DSKJNX talking to the 320C26
but I've yet to actually receive anything. Of course I've just had it
hooked up for 1/2hr and dinner got in the way. The docs are a bit sparse
so have been exploring the keyboard. Show's looks like it'll be real neat
when I have it fully working!

I was working for a company that did some testing of that radio on packet at
both 1200 and 9600 bauds. The 1200 baud operation is great, the 9600 baud
operation is not as good as some other radios.
Most notibly, radios that modulate the PLL directly don't work as well as
radios where a crystal oscillator is modulated. The problem is that the
PLL tries to correct for the frequency error introduced by the applied
modulation. The IC-281 is a radio who's PLL is modulated. The Alinco
DR-1200TH and DR-1200TH2 also fall into this catagory. If you're looking
for 9600 and top-notch performance, the IC-281 is close, but not optimum.
